Context

Ø Context 1: Digital transformation of industryv Digital objects as core assets to be exploited, preserved, exchanged (Extended Enterprise)v New services based on digital object data: data analytics, digital twinv Internet of things, « Manufacturing 4.0 »v Agility et flexibility of organization, processes and systems

Ø Context 2: Systems Engineering moving to digitalv SE becoming an essential discipline for industry, beyond Defence and Spacev MBSE (from Digital objects to data, plus methods/processes and standards) is the challenge

Ø AFIS-AFNeT collaboration: a French initiative to federate efforts and initiate/contribute to standardisation at international level (ISO, INCOSE, OMG, etc.) on MBSE interoperability.Ø AFIS, an association focused on Systems Engineering (French Chapter of INCOSE)Ø AFNeT, an association focused on Interoperability and Digital Threads.

AFIS-AFNeT collaboration

StrenghtsØ Involvement in standardization bodies in scope:

v ISO: ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7 Software and systems engineering (ISO/IEC 15288, ISO/IEC/IEEE 420xx), ISO/TC 184/SC 4 Industrial data (ISO 10303-233/239/242), etc.

v OMG: OMG C4I Domain Technology Committee, OMG Systems Engineering DSIG.

Ø Involvement in related International associations:v INCOSE, PDES MBSE WG, LOTAR MBSE WG

Ø Link with industry and influence of industry solutionsv All main industry sectors represented. Both associations gather large industry

groups, SMEs, governmental bodies and R&D institutes.

v Products and services delivered:Ø Guides to discover and understand Systems Engineering

Ø BoostAerospace (deployed in aerospace industry) as a model to be replicated in other industry sectors

v Link with R&T institutes – see next slide

Communiqué

q Press release on AFIS-AFNeT collaboration on Systems Engineering interoperability, published 19th October 2018.

q Extract :

q See the full communiqué:v Site AFIS : https://www.afis.fr/SiteAssets/Pages/accueil/Collaboration%20AFIS-AFNeT-EN.pdf

v Site AFNeT : https://afnet.fr/2018/10/22/collaboration-between-afis-and-afnet-on-systems-engineering-interoperability/

AFIS (French Association of Systems Engineering) and AFNeT (French Association of the Net) join forces in order to make the future solutions of systems engineering interoperability emerge and to qualify/validate them.

The perimeter addressed initially covers: • Collaborative processes in an MBSE context (between customers, OEMs, suppliers) • The sharing and sustainability of models related to systems engineering • The formalization of data in view of data analytics • The related needs for competences and associated skills.

(…) This collaboration will be based on a multi-year roadmap, and will be implemented through projects. It will feed the French contributions on the subject, on the one hand to OMG, to INCOSE and to ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 7, through the AFIS contributions, and on the other hand to ISO, through the participation AFNeT to ISO/TC 184/SC 4 and its contribution to the new STEP architecture.

It will come in support of work committed at European level on this subject (e.g. ASD SSG, INCOSE EMEA, CEN/CENELEC, EDA)

Scope

q Model based systems engineering (MBSE) to ensure digital continuity along systems/products/services life cycle.

q Interoperability between enterprises and between project teams, and activities and processes involved.

q Role of architecture design and early validation, for decision support

The challenge

• To define a set of use cases addressing interoperability between organization and platforms

• To propose an interoperability strategy based on a layered approach.

• To influence related associations (INCOSE, OMG, PDES)

• To prototype and demonstrate the envisioned interoperability mechanisms

Activity 1: RV&V Implementer ForumObjectives

• To speed up the implementation and deployment of Requirement, Val. & Verif. management information based on AP242 ed2 / AP239 ed3• Start with RM exchange based on AP242 ed1, “Text based” and “Properties based”

• To define generic use cases for Interoperability of RV&V management information• Short term: exchange, LT archiving, visualization, analytics • Mid term: web services based on AP242 / AP239

• To prepare representative public tests cases,

• To specify end to end quality control mechanisms • validation properties, verification control rules, etc

• To specify recommendations for minimum information to be part of the log files• to ease the operational use of AP242 interfaces

NB: this is seen as a first step towards a future MBSE interoperability Implementer Forum.

Activity 2Set-up of a research project on MBSE interop.

q Objective : develop and validate new interoperability processes, scoping the Architecture Frameworks (NAF and OMG UAF) and based on data standards (STEP).

q Several « use cases » identifiedv N°1 : Exchange/cascading of requirements over the system/product/service life cycle

v N°2 : Exchange of Systems Engineering data in an Extended Enterprise context.

v N°3 : Exchange of Systems Engineering data in an integrated platform context.

q These works will rely on:v The data modelling of Systems Engineering objects using meta-modelling and ontology-based

methods.

v Architecture Frameworks (NAF, UAF, TOGAF, etc.)and their profiles.

v Conceptual approaches like RFLP (Requirement-based, Functional, Logical and Physical viewpoints).

v Languages like SysML, Capella, Archimate and BPMN.

v Technical data exchange standards (STEP).

q Project to be started in 2020.
